Oakland Raiders CB Sean Smith was benched midway through the third quarter of his team's Week 1 win against the New Orleans Saints after failing to get a bump on WR Brandin Cooks and getting burnt on his 98-yard touchdown catch.
"I thought that he had a rough day, so we took him out. He'll be back. He's going to play well for us, but he didn't play well today," head coach Jack Del Rio said of the cornerback who signed a four-year, $40 million with the Raiders this spring.

Fantasy Tip: Del Rio is a defensive-minded coach, so the fate of Derek Carr and the rest of the offense are a bit unclear until after the rest of the coaching staff is assembled. There is reason to believe that Murray has a bright future ahead of him.

The Denver Broncos and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio agreed to terms Thursday, Feb. 6, on a new two-year contract. The deal is expected to be finalized Friday, Feb. 7. "Jack did a nice job with our defensive," executive vice president of football operations John Elway said. "We had a lot of injuries on that defensive side and Jack did a good job holding that side together. Even in the Super Bowl, our defense kept us in the game in the first half."
